This file contains the exploratory data analysis of the spatial questions’ responses, using the prelim_singlereview.csv file which contains results from 268 papers. Spatial questions are Q8-Q11.

Q8: Does the paper consider or compare multiple spatial scales?

## Using fullquestion as id variables

Q9: What is the size of the unit of replication? Select multiple if inferences are made at multip…

Number of papers at each scale

Plots

Sites

Heatmap linking plots to sites at each scale

After looking at this, I’m not sure it’s super useful, but it could be useful if we bin them into larger scale bins (like small, medium, large). With the right binning, it could potentially fit well into the scale figure.

This plot shows the number of papers with plot size X and site size Y, which could help us see trends in the scales that studies are linking from their plots to their sites (but the definitions of sites and plots was a little tricky in the coding so this might take more thought).

Also a heatmap for just those papers that examined patterns across scales

Q10: Does the paper consider connectivity between spatial replicates (sites, plots)?

## Using fullquestion as id variables

If paper examined connectivity…what scale?

Q11: What is the distance between replicates? (Given that the paper measured connectivity)
